Reproduction note
After a painting by Rubens. A painting with a similar composition is in the Barber Institute Birmingham (Adler, loc. cit.), but the present engraving has many differences from that painting, including the figures, the horses and cattle, and the trees. Either these were introduced by the engraver or this engraving is not after the Birmingham painting
